Golden Star Chinese & American Restaurant sits comfortably on Wheaton Way in Bremerton, offering a familiar setting that locals appreciate for its straightforward, no-frills atmosphere. The space feels bright and welcoming, with a practical layout that suits both casual dinners and family gatherings. It carries a touch of nostalgic charm, reflecting a style that’s cozy rather than trendy, making it easy to settle in without feeling rushed.

This spot specializes in a blend of Chinese and American-Chinese classics, making it particularly well-suited for anyone craving generous portions of hearty, flavorful dishes. The menu leans heavily on familiar favorites like Sweet and Sour Chicken, Moo Goo Gai Pan, and Almond Chicken, alongside standout offerings like the Golden Star Crispy Orange Chicken and Deep Fried Tofu. For fans of noodle and fried rice dishes, there’s a range that includes Subgum Chicken Chow Mein, Pork Fried Rice, and Cantonese-style options that mix proteins like shrimp, pork, and beef.

Golden Star is especially good for families or groups looking for a relaxed meal without fuss. Ordering often happens as much to-go as it does dine-in, which speaks to its role as a convenient local staple for a quick, satisfying meal after a busy day. Staff tends to be friendly and attentive without hovering, creating an environment where you can enjoy the food at your own pace. Service is fairly quick, even during busier times, making it a reliable option for weekdays or weekend dinners.

The atmosphere is casual with a hint of liveliness, particularly noticeable during peak hours when carryout orders line up and the place buzzes quietly with the rhythm of orders being prepared. It’s the kind of place where the details matter more in the food delivery than in upscale decor—clean and neat, it feels practical and approachable.

Local diners often mention favorites like the spring rolls, sesame chicken, and almond-infused dishes as going beyond typical takeout fare with fresh, balanced flavors. The combination of Chinese and American offerings works well for mixed tastes, and the presence of both light vegetable sides and hearty, saucy plates ensures there’s something for everyone.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick dinner, sharing a meal with family, or picking up takeout to enjoy at home, Golden Star provides consistent, well-portioned dishes that fit easily into the Bremerton dining scene. Early evenings or weekend dinners are good times to visit before the later dinner rush sets in, with closing around 10 pm offering a bit more flexibility than some local competitors.

I have been seeing reviews that this place was great, so my daughter and I had to try it out. Large portions and pretty great price! My daughter got the combination sweet and sour and I got the prawn shrimp fried rice. Between the time we got there and got our food, over 12 carry out orders went out the door. (Probably more like 20+) Will definitely go back again!

I've recently revisited this spot and I'm glad I did. They close at 10pm which is better then most around town. I've tried a few things but my favorite go to is the butter garlic chicken (boneless) and the house fried rice. I would have taken pictures but I couldn't wait and I ate all the food already sorry that's how good it was. The staff are friendly and service is quick...

Fabulous food, friendly and helpful servers and staff, very comfortable seating, bight and cheerful ambiance. Highly recommend the spring rolls, sesame chicken, and spicy veggies with tofu. Fresh and delicious. Recommend this excellent restaurant, and will happily return.

Has to be the best in the area! Just had my birthday dinner there with my family, it was fantastic! Now I'm biased because we've been going there for years. I forget the waitresses name is ( my sister knows, ) but she made me a cute little rice cake and the staff sang. Now what they didn't know is I'm fighting cancer and they made me very happy.

Best American Chinese food I've found pretty much anywhere. We always get orange beef with extra broccoli (it tastes ever-so-slightly of orange zest). Otherwise, I look forward to the chow mein and the almond chicken. But, honestly, it's all good. Also, the service here is phenomenal! I always leave feeling really appreciated. It has that dated decor that hits nostalgic, but it's a clean place. I used to do pest control and I've never seen anything alarming.

I dined-in and the service and my lunch combo meal did not disappoint! Trifecta! Will definitely come back to try more.

Stopped in at Golden Star for the first time last night. It was around 7:30, and they had clearly just cleared out from their dinner rush. Even so, we were seated promptly and the service was excellent. The food was also great! We got the Super Star Family Combo and it was easily enough for 2-3 meals. We took most of it home and still left full. Everything came out hot, fresh, and was good quality. The meal came with egg rolls (amazing. Some of the best Chinese-style egg rolls I've had in the area), wonton chips (very fresh and crisp), soup, Almond Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Pork Fried Rice, fried shrimp, Sizzling Beef, and BBQ Pork (that hot mustard is no joke, but delicious). With all of that, a soda, and one cocktail, the meal was under $60. Great value, great service, great food. We will definitely be back to try some more of their dishes!
